The Geriatric Care Consultants are a group of dedicated nurses with geriatric expertise.  We act as advocates for elders navigating the complex health and social services system.  We serve as independent consultants, advisors, and counselors to help the elderly and their families identify key issues and develop and execute cost effective care plans.  We are dedicated, compassionate health care specialists with years of experience in working with frail older adults with multiple medical issues and are also experienced in dementia care.

Many of us have elderly family members who live independently.  They think they are doing fine, yet you (and others) know better.  They are more forgetful and accidents are more frequent.  They have difficultly coping with routine needs.  Problems that were once manageable now seem overwhelming.  You try to discuss the subject but are generally rebuffed.  Eventually a sentinel event occurs that forces both you and your loved one to face the fact that their needs are increasing and you need professional guidance.

-You or another family member may be responsible for the well being of an elderly family member.  There are a number of signs that may indicate you need help:

-We are caught off guard when their health takes a turn for the worse.

-You (and others) have noticed they are having trouble coping with routine needs

-You are concerned with their safety and their health care, particularly if they still live at home. 

-You are concerned that they are not taking their medications.

-Their needs have grown more complex than you can comfortably manage.

-You do not have the time to provide the level of attention your loved one needs.

-You and your family members cannot agree on the appropriate steps to take.
